+# Castopod stays off
+
+Rechecked 2026-10-21 after the stop note. Web unit container-koopa-castopod.service is disabled, inactive, dead. Container koopa-castopod is exited, finished 2026-10-21 22:48:06 +0200. Nothing listens on :9020. MariaDB and Redis user units stay loaded and active. No second stop. Caddy vhost unchanged.
+
+Log review found no sign of a successful remote code execution. Overlay file /tmp/fw-cp.php (1448 bytes, mode 600, sha256 7bb279bffa12dbb81787183108a2641b78a6657b069cbef7967950d80e13b5bc, mtime 2026-09-07 03:25:59 +0200) is a local database script for cp_users, outside the docroot, not a web shell. /tmp/os-dry.out is an apt dry-run. Five theme files differ by one branding line from 2026-07-13. Media volume has no scripts. Access logs run 2026-10-17 through the stop and show no 2xx on a non-index script. Critical lines on 2026-09-07 match other days.
+
+Limits: access logs start 2026-10-17, so HTTP from 2026-09-07 is absent. A memory-only or already rotated request is not ruled out. Whether the local script ran is not in the logs. MariaDB was not opened.
+
+Stays down until an image ships PHP newer than 8.4.18. Hub tag :1 from 2026-02-24 is not that image. Parent 537, slug castopod-restart-after-php-fix.
+
+Restore only then:
+

+# TODO=704 Tor CachyOS CTR + CookieAuth (koopa)
+
+Relay was down (stale PIDFile / start-timeout on forking unit), keys intact. Recreated **same identity** on CachyOS container; CookieAuth for ControlPort; host tor disabled.
+
+## Stand after APPLY (2026-10-24 ~21:47–21:51 Europe/Zurich)

+
+## Steps
+
+1. Dry-run `/tmp/tor.sh` on koopa → STATUS=dry-run-ok; NEXT=`sudo APPLY=1 /tmp/tor.sh` (host tor was still enabled).
+2. Human: `systemctl disable --now tor.service`, then `sudo APPLY=1 /tmp/tor.sh`.
+3. APPLY: wrote CachyOS Containerfile, pulled `docker.io/cachyos/cachyos:latest`, build (cache hit), `podman create --replace --network host --user 1000:1000 --userns keep-id`, torrc bak `torrc.bak-cookie-20261024-214720`, CookieAuth on.
+4. First APPLY hit dbus fail under sudo (`$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` / `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` unset). Unit rewrite + enable finished with XDG/DBUS set; script path re-exec as SUDO_USER for later runs.
+5. Verify from magikoopa SSH: unit active, CTR Up, FP match, circuit-established=1, unauth 514.
